(Routledge Studies on African Politics and International Relations ; 2) ID number: 80024839 Type: M Call Number: 327 /01637 ISBN: 9780415633536 Bibliography: p. 175-196. Includes index. 'This book analyses the rapidly increasing role of African states, leaders and other political actors in international politics in the twenty-first century. In contrast to the conventional approach of studying how external actors impacted on Africa's international relations, this book seeks to open up a new approach, focusing on the impact of African political actors on international politics. It does this by analysing African agency - the degree to which African political actors have room to manoeuvre within the international system and exert influence internationally and the uses they make of that room for manoeuvre. Bringing together leading scholars from Africa and Europe to explore the role and conception of African agency, this book addresses a wide range of issues, from relations with Western and non-Western donors, Africa's role in the United Nations and World Trade Organisation, negotiations over climate change, trade agreements with the European Union, regional diplomatic strategies, the character and extent of African state agency and agency within corporate social responsibility initiatives.'

Mili, Naoufel Brahimi El 'En 2011, le monde a cru a la spontaneite du Printemps arabe et a la democratisation des peuples. Mais ces evenements seraient pour une grande part le resultat d'un tissu de manipulations ... Les soulevements populaires auraient ete encourages, voire provoques, par les interets du gouvernement americain, appuye par le Qatar et sa chaine satellitaire Al-Jazeera. Les icones religieuses ou sociales imaginees par le storytelling ont influence les masses qui ont cru elles aussi en un nouvel ordre. Mais l'alliage de la democratie et de l'islam n'a pas tenu ses promesses : repressions sanglantes des revoltes, guerres civiles, prises de pouvoir des armees, commandos salafistes, terrorismes islamistes, elections frauduleuses ... On assiste desormais a l'apparition d'un nouveau desordre arabe.' ARMED FORCES The Military Balance : 2013. - Abingdon, UK : Routledge, 2013. 572 p. : ill.; 25 cm.

Lesch. - New Haven, CT : Yale University Press, 2012. ix, 275 pages : illustrations ; 25 cm. ID number: 80024850 Type: M Call Number: 323 /01327 ISBN: 9780300186512 Author(s): 1. Lesch, David W. Includes index. 'Amidst the bombings, shootings, political turmoil, and mass exodus in Syria, it's difficult to follow the trajectory of its recent troubled history. One can start in 2000, when Syrian President Bashar al-Assad came to power. The author can trace this path because he knew President Assad personally, perhaps better than anyone else in the West. The book at first highlights the humanity and promise once shown in President Assad. Later, it is filled with disappointment. The author explains that Assad was never meant to rule, and it was only after the untimely death of his brother that the role was thrust upon him. Assad was an ophthalmologist, with a wife and a good family. But it did not take long for the power to corrupt him. In this timely book, the author explores Assad's failed leadership, his transformation from bearer of hope to reactionary tyrant, and his regime's violent response to the uprising of his people in the wake of the Arab Spring.' 6 BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS--USSR The Soviet Biological Weapons Program : A History / by Milton Leitenberg, Raymond A. Zilinkas. - Cambridge, MA : Harvard University Press, 2012. xvi, 921 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm. ID number: 80024836 Type: M Call Number: 623 /01172 ISBN: 9780674047709 Author(s): 1. Leitenberg, Milton 2. Zilinkas, Raymond A. Includes index. 'Russian officials claim today that the USSR never possessed an offensive biological weapons program. In fact, the Soviet government spent billions of rubles and hard currency to fund a hugely expensive weapons program that added nothing to the country's security. This history is the first attempt to understand the broad scope of the USSR's offensive biological weapons research - its inception in the 1920s, its growth between 1970 and 1990, and its possible remnants in present-day Russia.'
